Girl Hitting Grey Pony

Well that was disgusting viewing, poor pony was petrified.

 

[QuantockHills]

I was hoping the pony was going to kick them both in the head.... absolutely disgusting behavior and no justification for it.

 

[JJS]

To me, this is a pretty black and white case of cruelty. Poor pony

 

[SpringArising]

Oh God, that video was bloody horrible. I don't know why I watched it.

I think one of the problems is that whilst it is socially acceptable (and accepted in competition etc) to hit horses it is very hard to draw a line.

Most people think the video is wrong but many people on here thinking hitting a horse with a stick if there is napping/grazing/reluctance to jump/etc.

Where does the line get drawn either morally or legally?

Why is hitting for grazing ok but bucking not? Do we say hitting 5 times is OK but 6 isn't? It doesn't really make much sense...

Bad horsemanship isn't a crime... Lots of training methods are ineffectual/sometimes implemented ineffectually.

And being hit for not listening /is/ a punishment really. You might think it is an acceptable or effective one but it is still inflicting pain (or discomfort) after undesired behaviour.

I'm not condoning the girl but I think relying on common sense being common might be a bit optimistic...

Most people don't any longer thinking hitting adults with sticks is acceptable, many don't think training children that way is... Social change is possible but sometimes (as with the adoption of the seat belt laws) it can be hastened by those in authority setting boundaries.

I think these are very interesting points, I do not condone whipping a horse (a schooling whip used appropriately aside) I can't watch racing or most show jumping at local level because of it so I could not watch this video. I recently had to ditch my part loaners because they were seen over jumping my horse to tje point of exhaustion while the other chases her around with a lunge whip and the person who saw it said they didn't make contact with it but it is still unacceptable and whilst I honestly believe it was out of ignorance rather than deliberate cruelty Its not something I would risk happening again and I would like to think they have now learnt it's unacceptable and they have learnt from their mistake. I hope the girl in this video along with the others involved now see how wrong they were and are deeply filled with regret

It appeared on my Facebook numerous times and I just couldn't watch it. Why was the whole thing being filmed and why did she post it on Facebook? Makes me wonder what on earth the hideous girl gets up to when it's not being filmed! She thought this was just "a few smacks" and perfectly acceptable!

Same here. Didn't watch 'cos I knew it would upset me. It's scary that she thought her behaviour was perfectly normal and acceptable. Makes you wonder how she's been brought up!

 

[GemG]

Unfortunately and very sadly there are lots of people out there of this ilk. Some have dogs, some have horses, some have children. She has lost control of herself, of her own behaviour and it is unacceptable.

That poor pony will be "broken" right enough and will be one of those that is sharp, shakes, won't deal well with certain situations and most certainly won't truly trust another human being. Very sad but true.

some people don't care 'how' they get an animal to do something. No trust, patience, firm but fair common sense. Common sense is lacking though isn't it.

 

[Pigeon]

It's shocking! Really horrendous

You have to wonder at the parents really, someone has taught the girl that this is acceptable.

I will be furious if the RSPCA don't take action. The only statement I have seen from them said "we are aware of the alleged incident". Er, alleged?

Here is a link to the video - http://m.southwales-eveningpost.co....d-and-kicked/story-29859036-detail/story.html

Also, this is one of Chloe Morgan's friends who is defending her on facebook -

That's apparently a 6 month old foal she's sat on.

Sweet Jesus.

 

[Tyssandi]

I'm sure most people have seen the video on FB by now, lets hope she gets caught and done!!

Vile vile girl!!

What in gods name was she doing getting on a small pony like that, she is too big and heavy. There was no need to carry out that harsh treatment , let alone repeatedly hitting the poor thing.

Nasty piece of work shame the pony did not kick her, but then that would have given her more reason to hit the pony more.


Shameful

 

[Achinghips]

Well, the only way scum like that learn is when the pony turns on her and injures her. Only then will she change her behaviour, but it will be too late for the poor ruined horse, who will be sold on.

 

[Leo Walker]

Apparently she thinks she has done no wrong:

 

[Pigeon]

She seems delightful.

Whether this is true, I don't know. If it is, hopefully it's just a preliminary visit, rather than the extent of their involvement. Who knows. Can't say RSPCA could ever be described as proactive...

 

[Achinghips]

Hmmm, what I said ....

 

[southerncomfort]

People on FB are saying that the pony HAS been taken away. Some are saying it was taken by the owners and some think it was seized by the RSPCA.

 

[MrsNorris]

As I understand it, she had one on loan that has been taken back by the owner, it's not the one she abused, I think she still has that one.

 

[Leo Walker]

One she had on loan was taken away, not the one she was beating up in the video though

 

[Cortez]

Stupid, ignorant, vicious little cow. Please tell me there are avenues to sort this out?

 

[tallyho!]

What about WHW? The RSPCA have proven ineffective so far...

 

[maggiestar]

What about the police? Would they do anything? Horrific video. She shouldn't be allowed to keep animals.

 

[Tyssandi]

Apparently she thinks she has done no wrong:

What language she has - a real potty mouth, anyone who can use that sort of language in my book deserves no respect and her parent's ought to be ashamed that her up bring has fallen down in to the depths of the mire.

 

[AmieeT]

RSPCA had just replied to my tweet saying that this is an ongoing issue, so she must be bullshitting.

Those saying it's a grey area/when does it being an issue- have you actually watched the video? This is not a few taps for being naughty- she hits that poor pony full force over and over and over again. What a disgrace of a human being.

 

[Achinghips]

Imagine hitting a horse so hard you actually hear the whip going through the air before the hit ........ Cor blimey !

 

[AmyMay]

There's now a petition circulating calling for the RSPCA to take immediate action.

 

[DD]

good

There's a petition up now

 

[scats]

I saw a screenshot on FB from the mother of this vile piece of scum, apparently she completely agrees with her daughters actions. What a lovely family!

 

[Shantara]

I'm all for reprimanding horses when they are being dangerous or naughty. However, this is sickening.
That is not a smack for being naughty, that is outright abuse.
